Council of Peace

In the Council, in the Chief's Circle. The essence of peace is the strength to do nothing, To always wait for the right moment. Look at the wonderment of the Mother And all Her creations. Forever in peace, she moves only When the moment is perfect, Always remaining in harmony and balance. Forever at peace, the Mother has no need for anger, No call for vengeance or retribution. She has no need for conflict, She has no desire for dominance, So she rules flawlessly in all things. To find peace, stay close to the Mother. Her council is perfection.
